Compilations
- Bengt Hallinger
keeps right up with everything photographic on the Internet
Photographers, Exhibitions
- ZONEZERO has a thought-provoking
selection of exhibits
- Saelon
Renkes has a great gift for nudes and hand-coloring.
- If you browse Stacy
Rosenstock's server, you should get some interesting ideas about
photojournalism and also presenting photographs on the Web.
- Check out my friend Rob's photo mosaics.
Magazines
(and other guides)
- Digital Journalist, edited
by White House photographer Dirck Halstead
- Graphica Obscura, Paul
Haeberli's eclectic mix of PhotoShop tricks and hardcore digital
imaging applied to realizing aesthetic goals. Highly recommended.
- PHOTO, the French magazine that
can always be counted on for a half-naked babe on the cover and some
interesting images inside. Some English translations.
- Photo District News, the
traditional journal of record for advertising photographers
- PHOTO>Electronic
Imaging, which is currently almost all hawking but I hope will
develop into a good resource.
- Janne Sinkkonen maintains an excellent
guide to photo resources on the Internet, especially the Canon EOS
mailing list archives.

I hate to sound like the arrogant pigheaded prima donna that I am, but
it looks to me like almost all of these folks are desperately in need of
a copy of
How to be a Web Whore Just Like Me.
- Agfa, which has some good tech
information on their films
- Canon, yet another product
brochure Web site that answers no interesting questions and teaches
nothing. We waited 27 years for Fortune 500 companies to arrive on
the Internet and now it turns out they have nothing to say.
- Fuji, another good
candidate for Worst of the Web. They keep redesigning it with new
graphics. Each time, they forget one little thing: information. Kodak
is kicking Fuji's sorry ass without even trying.
- Kodak, which is slowly releasing
all of their internal publications in HTML or plain text form. A nice
effort with real information hampered by primitive Web publishing technology.
- Leica, a site that
makes the Canon one look really good.
- Minolta USA
- Nikon, which decided to
play catch up to Canon by copying their "we've got the brochures and
we'll ram them down your throat" style. No way of contacting them via
email. No owner's manuals on-line. No search engine. No tutorials on
using their products or photography in general. Nothing you couldn't
get better and faster in their print materials.
- Olympus
- Pentax
